Episode 75: What does it mean to let kids be kids?

Welcome back and welcome all the new DOPEsters to the podcast!!!  As we get closer towards our third trimester of pregnancy its been a constant struggle for energy in the household, so this season of the podcast will consist of sporadic fun episodes focusing on some spicy topics. Since becoming future parents its been a constant struggle on how we look at the world and realizing how fast the world is evolving is extremely frightening when we are now in charge of rising a whole human. Technology has replaced the village and now parents must be extremely mindful of the endless influences affecting their children: parents must take on the huge responsibility of curating what things are enforced in the home, but sometimes outside forces of society makes it hard.  Today we had an open conversation on a viral video of a couple of concerned parents stumbling on a quite disturbing book for a four year old audience and watching their response sparked a great debate for us. A child will only do what they are taught, but where do we draw the line on what is right for this child's self expression and maybe we're pushing societal norms/trends on children who have yet grasped a true understanding of cleanliness.   Thank you all for your constant support and love ♥ Video Discussed: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CbJyaG9ggnO/?utm_medium=copy_link
